Wired’s Steven Levy listened to Rogan for three hours the Atlantic contributor Vinay Prasad did six-plus in January Slate’s in-house Rogan expert, Justin Peters, went in for eight last weekend. He made bulleted lists of suspect statements about COVID-19 and anti-trans rhetoric, and put other comments in a catchall category of “right-wing misinformation and bigotry.” (When Paterson’s report was released, my co-workers and I discussed the 350 hours with shock and distress: Get this guy some hazard pay.)Įven modest excavation efforts merit some congratulation.
